1. I am in GA and it is NOT a community property state.
2. Yes
3. When I was completing the 1040 I asked the question to a TT person about what product I needed to purchase to file for the LLC. They said to get the TT business to do a 1065 and then to file form 8832 which would allow us to only file the Schedule C's in the future and not have to file a 1065 anymore. We would only have to file the 1065 once and then with form 8832 we could just do schedule C's in the future. AND I have already filed the form 8832 and will try to call the IRS tomorrow.
4. NO, just wanted to be able to file only the Schedule C's like they said and not have to file the Partnership 1065 and the Schedule C's each year.
The filing of the form 8832 was supposed to make the LLC of a husband and spouse like a a single member LLC, then you just file on a Schedule C since the LLC is deemed a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes.
Copied from above TT answer link..................
"Please note that there are discrepancies between various IRS publications as to the matter of whether or not living in a Community Property State [e.g.,AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, & WI] is a requirement that would allow "disregarding" the LLC partnership and filing simply as two sole proprietors on two Schedule C forms. I will proceed as if any couple may so elect and then at the end provide the commentary on whether or not community property state residence is required.....By making the
election, you will not be required to file Form 1065 for any year the election is in effect and will instead report the income and deductions directly on your joint return.................."
